Don't be sad that I got my Ph.D. I will keep the blog going, but the name will probably change!
So, for all of you who like the gory details, here is the play by play:
10:25- Arrive at BC. Find parking on the very top of the garage at the end of the row.
10:35- The room is locked. Sign on the door is hanging by just one corner.
10:36- Go to the Dean's office to get the key, while taking down signs advertising my defense from all walls (hoping people might forget).
10:38- Unlock room where there is a buffet table of moldy food from a Friday meeting. Ewwww.
10:40- Tech guys pulls down the projection screen to reveal green marker drawn circles (woops-- guess someone thought it was a white board).
10:45- Rearrange the room, so there are no objects to trip on and everyone can see the screen (and green marker).
10:45-11:00- Waiting. One of my committee members is a tad late.
11:00-11:35- Present.
11:35-12:45- Questions and Answers
12:45- Everyone leaves the room while the committee deliberates.
12:50- The door opens and they say "Welcome, Doctor!" They then told me that they wanted to pass me with distinction and they had no revisions. None of them had ever seen a dissertation before that did not require revisions.
1:20- Bottle of champagne consumed and I was leaving BC for the LAST TIME!!!!
2:30- Larry is awarded an honorary degree.
Thank you all for your support and encouragement. It means so much to me!!!! Please keep checking the blog. . .I know I will keep writing.

You were really amazing! Successfully defending your dissertation can really be a great even in life. And from the looks of it, you really didn’t have much trouble getting yours. Writing PhD dissertation can really be hard and tedious. But with a lot of effort and commitment, the outcome would certainly be a happy ending.
